The 2024 Creative Arts Emmys NIght 1 - Complete List of Winner

The first of the two-night Creative Arts Emmys event, which is held the week before the Primetime Emmy Awards broadcast, was held Saturday, September 7 with Disney+ documentary Jim Henson Idea Man, stalwart late night comedy series Saturday Night Live, FX docuseries Welcome to Wrexham, music special event Billy Joel: The 100th — Live at Madison Square Garden, and The Oscars picking up multiple awards. There was a shocker in the Reality Series Host category, with RuPaul being dethroned after eight consecutive wins, and a venerable game show host won his first Emmy in 25 years. More to come Sunday!
